Fundraiser to showcase Canadian art at local mall

The Art Gallery of Mississauga’s Benefit Art Auction is taking place next month at Square One Shopping Center. It is a fundraising event for the Art Gallery’s First, Now, Next program.

The auction features contemporary Canadian works of art by both established and emerging artists. The works can be previewed from April 19 to 25 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day in the Grand Rotunda.

The evening will start off with a cocktail reception where guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres and live entertainment from local performers. This will be followed by the live art auction.

VIP tickets are available for $120 per person. The tickets include a private consultation with Art Gallery of Mississauga experts, valet service and preferred seating.

Funds raised through the auction will go towards the First, Now, Next program that provides community programs to introduce the public to Canadian art.

Organizers of this Art Gallery of Mississauga event will likely be sending out printed invitations to people who have donated to them in the past. Local stationery printing firms can provide this and many other necessary services to help promote public events.

The Benefit Art Auction will be held at Square One Shopping Centre’s Grand Rotunda on April 26 from 7:00 to 10:00 PM. General admission tickets are $80. Call 905-896-5088 for more information.
